I have a bespoke local agent that I built over the last year, similar in facilities to Moltbot, but more deterministic code.

Running it this kind of agent in the cloud certainly has upsides, but also:

- All home/local integrations are gone.

- Data needs to be stored in the cloud.

No thanks.

This is ultimately the first question I have whenever someone tells me about a bouncing new AI shiny... "Where does my data go?" Because if it does not stay on my machine, hard pass.
